Rückrufaktion sämtlicher 8800GTX-Grafikkarten

Sämtliche auf nVIDIA's 8800GTX-GPU basierenden Grafikkarten werden aufgrund eines (vermutlich) fehlerhaft verbauten Widerstandes zurückgezogen. Die 8800GTS-Serie ist von dieser Rückrufaktion nicht betroffen.

Zitat:
We have received news that all the 8800GTX cards out in the channel are being recalled due to manufacturing defect. We heard it is probably due to a resistor controlling 2D/3D switching and that leads to 3D corruption. However, the defect doesn't affect the 8800GTS cards. This issue probably could delay the launch, if not, there could be no availability of 8800GTX cards at launch but just GTS.

Update #1 : No affect on launch date as yet
Update #2 : NVIDIA will handle the necessary hardware changes (changing of resistors)
Update #3 : Only some 8800GTX cards are affected due to wrong resistor value by a contract manufacturer but to be safe, all the card makers are recalling their cards
